Discover Ightham Mote: A Family Adventure

Step back in time as you wander through the romantic halls of Ightham Mote, a manor house with 700 years of stories etched into its very walls. The architecture alone is a feast for the eyes, but the real magic happens outside. The 14-acre garden is a hidden gem, nestled in a tranquil valley with water features, an orchard, and woodland. It's the perfect spot for a leisurely stroll or a family picnic.

For those with little adventurers, the natural play area is a must-visit. Let the kids splash in the stream, balance on beams, or create melodies with chimes. Remember to pack a change of clothes—getting messy is all part of the fun!

Extend your day with a wander through the estate's 500 acres, part of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Whether you're spotting wildlife or enjoying the seasonal colours, there's a challenge for everyone—who can walk the quietest or find the most leaf types?

When hunger strikes, head to the Mote Café for a delicious meal or snack. With indoor and outdoor seating, including a dog-friendly veranda, it's a delightful spot to relax. Don't forget to visit the shop for local gifts or the second-hand bookshops for a literary treasure.

Planning a visit is a breeze with facilities like baby changing rooms, high chairs, and interactive trails. At Burnett's, we love helping families find their perfect home near such charming attractions. Enjoy your visit to Ightham Mote!
